About this listen
Simon Basset, the irresistible Duke of Hastings, has hatched a plan to keep himself free from the town's marriage-minded society mothers. He pretends to be engaged to the lovely Daphne Bridgerton. After all, it isn't as if the brooding rogue has any real plans to marry - though there is something about the alluring Miss Bridgerton that sets Simon's heart beating a bit faster.
And as for Daphne, surely the clever debutante will attract some very worthy suitors now that it seems a duke has declared her desirable. But as Daphne waltzes across ballroom after ballroom with Simon, she soon forgets that their courtship is a complete sham. And now she has to do the impossible and keep herself from losing her heart and soul completely to the handsome hell-raiser who has sworn off marriage forever!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 24
In 1761, on a sunny day in September, a King and Queen met for the very first time. They were married within hours. Born a German Princess, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was beautiful, headstrong, and fiercely intelligent… not precisely the attributes the British Court had been seeking in a spouse for the young King George III. But her fire and independence were exactly what she, and her King, needed. Because George has secrets… secrets with the potential to shake the very foundations of the monarchy.

Story4 out of 5 stars 79
Carter Beckett is the NHL’s resident bad boy, top player both on the ice and in the bedroom, and quite possibly the sexiest man to ever grace my field of vision. But worst of all? He knows it. He’s arrogant, self-centered, and the man doesn’t seem to know what a filter is, let alone how to use one. He’s had everything served to him on a silver platter, including endless strings of women, and apparently, I’m up next. I have the solution to all my sexual frustrations in a drawer at home, and it’s far less complicated than Carter Beckett.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 26
Gigi Graham has exactly three goals: qualify for the women's national hockey team, win Olympic gold, and step out of her famous father's shadow. So far, so good, except for two little things. Fine—a little thing and a big, grumpy thing. She needs to improve her game behind the net, and she needs help from Luke Ryder. Ryder is six-foot five, built, opinionated, rude . . . and sexy as hell. But he's still the enemy.

Featured Article: Best Romance Authors For a Little Love Into Your Life
You can never have enough romance in your life. If there isn't enough in the real world, there's always an entire history of romance novels to get lost in, from the Victorian stylings of Jane Austen (who doesn't dream of Mr. Darcy?) to contemporary romance authors like Talia Hibbert After all, who doesn't love a good swoon from time to time? You can't beat a good love story, and there are many reasons why television and cinema are filled with their adaptations.

Not My Favourite
I have many feelings about this book, and even some notes about specific scenes that particularly bothered me, but I'm honestly just too tired to get into it. Suffice it to say, I enjoyed the plot, but I do not like this author's way of writing. I've tried reading her books before, and while she has a decent sense of humour, and her descriptions can be lovely, I don't like the omniscient POV (I prefer tight third in HR novels), among other things.
Honestly, I look forward to when this comes out on Netflix, because I think that I'll like the way it's portrayed far better on film than how it's written. Not sure if I'll read the others in the series, despite having already bought the next one.

an ok book
The Duke and I
With my monthly membership to my audiobook site. I get a free editor choice book. This month was, The Duke and I by Julia Quinn.
I would not call this a great book. Not because it's a romance novel, there are many romantic books that are great. But it felt a bit redundant. As if I have read similar stories that were much more entertaining.
That is not to say it was not enjoyable, my dear readers. This book does have many moments that made me laugh or caught my attention. For example the awkward "wedding night" conversation between mother and daughter. I just found it very predictable. I will say it was an easy listen and a good book to just let your mind relax.
In the story we are introduced to the future Duke of Hastings. Whose mother dies at childbirth. The young child is further traumatized by an overbearing father. Who rejects his son because of a stutter. Going so far as to abandon him to the care of maids and caretakers. Not even acknowledging his son's existence until later, or ever apologizing for his cruelty.
When the young Duke takes his title after his uncaring father's death. The bachelor duke makes an agreement with the eldest Bridgeton family daughter in a fake courtship that eventually leads to their actual marriage. After some humorous awkward moments.
Their love and marriage are ture. Like many relationships there are some serious "bumps''. Caused by the mentioned psychological damage done to the duke as a you boy. When the walls come down and they bare their naked soles to each other. Their love and relationship is solidified and made stronger
This book does touch on the psychological damage of station and expectations of the nobles in Victorian age England. It does a great job in pointing out that all the oppression of information and emotions creates problems. That high society is in itself a prison. That expects conformity to its social standards.
This book does a great job in showing the importance of communication. Especially between husband and wife to help heal wounds and having a healthy relationship
Rosalyn Landor does a good job with her narration. Performing with confidence and professionalism.
As ever I thank all involved in the creation, production, distribution and support of both book and audiobook. With each book I consume makes me a bit better.
Yours,
David Evil Midknight

A good but simple story
This is a great book to lose yourself in. Wish there was a bit more to the story line.

OMGoodness goodiness...
Oh my heaving bosoms and rippling thighs... I have never read one of these romance novels and I have to admit it was - for me - a delightful mix of giggles, groans, and blushing cheeks. Could NOT put it down. Not sure if I would play this aloud in a room, but then, that's the fun of it. The narrator was fantastic: would love to have been a fly on the wall when she read this.

No matter the person whoever reads this book after the first chapter will want to finish the rest of the series in a day. this is my one and only review on this app and i think it was well worth it.

Very enjoyable!
Listened after watching Bridgerton on Netflix and wanted more of Simon and Daphne. Story was different than the show, some characters were not in the original books, and this story focused only on Simon and Daphne. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to listen to the whole series!

Very Romantic with lots of sensuality <3
For someone like myself who has not experienced romance or shivalry this is inspiring that it does exist and really opens up your mind on what is possible. This story is full of education when it comes to true profound love and can make one realize some things they did not know where possible. A very enjoyable listen I highly recommend 👌
